Hearing the movement outside, Li Xiaoyue also put on a piece of clothing and walked out, "Big brother, come in, if you have anything to say, speak slowly." ”

Uncle Li kicked the buttocks of these two strong men hard, "Come in for me!" ”

Li Changfu looked at it carefully, his face puzzled, "Uncle, isn't this the pair of brothers in Wujia Village?" ”

"It's them, they actually wanted to destroy our shop in the county seat, and I caught them." Uncle Li said angrily, "If it weren't for the sake of knowing them, I would have sent them to the official a long time ago." ”

When Boss Wu heard this, he immediately begged for mercy, "Uncle Li, just let us go, we won't dare anymore." ”

Li Xiaoyue saw that this Wu family brother was a little familiar, and he should have seen it before, "Don't talk about the question of forgiveness, I want to ask, what does it have to do with you when we open a shop?" Who instructed you to destroy our shop? ”

Wu Lao Er was more silly, his urn voice was angry, and he glared at Li Xiaoyue, "Why does it have nothing to do with you?" My two brothers have been collecting and selling firewood for a living. Some of our old customers now use your stove and honeycomb coal, and don't want our firewood. ”

"Our brother has no father, no mother, no land, so we make a living by collecting firewood. Now we can only sell a small part of our firewood every day, when will we be able to save money to build a house and marry a daughter-in-law? ”

Hearing this, Li Xiaoyue couldn't cry or laugh, it turned out that she had robbed others of their way to make money.

Cutting off people's financial means is like killing their parents, and it's no wonder that these two brothers have crooked thoughts. The days can't go on, what morality is there to talk about?

"Even if you smash my shop, it won't help, we can still open it elsewhere. Besides, honeycomb coal is easy to use, which is obvious to all, and it is better than firewood, you have to admit it. ”

Boss Wu had a bitter face, his eyes were red, "Just because we know that it is better than firewood, we are in a hurry, and no one will buy our firewood in the future, and we will not be able to live." ”

"Please, don't beat us, and don't send us to the office. Since there is no firewood to sell here in Lanshan County, we will sell firewood elsewhere. ”

Brother Li didn't want to do anything desperately, so he patiently explained, "Xiao Yue, the father of the Wu family brothers, discovered the army of the Treaty Kingdom eleven years ago, was seriously injured, insisted on sending the letter back, and made great contributions, but he also died because of his injuries. ”

"For their father's sake, Satsuki, don't worry about them. They are all poor children, and they are also for food. ”

Li Changfu also couldn't bear it, "Mother, they know it's wrong, let them go." ”

Li Xiaoyue didn't want to punish them heavily, but now she heard the pleading of Brother Li and her son and nodded, "Okay, let them go, don't care about their behavior of destroying the shop, but you can't do this in the future." ”

When Boss Wu and Elder Wu heard this, they hurriedly responded, "Yes, Aunt Li, we don't dare." ”

Li Xiaoyue thought for a while and said, "Your father is a hero, you can't be a bear." You can't sell firewood, you can sell honeycomb coal! You come to us to transport honeycomb coal, and you can make a lot of money in a day. ”

"In addition, if you recycle the honeycomb coal that has been burned, ten for one that has not been burned, then you can make money back and forth, which is more than if you cut wood and sell firewood for a day."

Boss Wu was stunned for a moment, his face was shocked, "Aunt Li, you not only let us go, but also let us transport honeycomb coal?" ”

"That's right! When you go, you deliver the honeycomb coal to the customer's home, and then you can also collect the burned honeycomb coal from the customer's home. If you exchange ten burned for one unburned, and a cart can collect at least three hundred burnt, you can exchange it for thirty pieces of honeycomb coal, which is thirty dollars. ”

"Do you calculate carefully, plus the freight you pay for pulling goods from us, do you earn more?"

Boss Wu is more clever, and in this way, he can earn more than 100 wen a day, which is much more cost-effective than selling firewood.

He immediately knelt down for Li Xiaoyue, "Aunt Li, it's all our brothers who have no eyes, and I ask Aunt Li to forgive me, if Aunt Li has something to do in the future, my brothers will definitely not shirk." ”

Wu Lao Er saw the eldest brother kneel, and he also knelt down.

As long as they can survive in Lanshan County, they don't want to leave their hometowns to cut and sell firewood in other places and be bullied.

"Okay, don't cry, I'll pull the goods tomorrow." Li Xiaoyue couldn't help but look at the two strong men who were five big and three thick, crying like a child, "Big brother, Changfu, hurry up and untie them." It's getting late, let them go home early. ”

Brother Li and Li Changfu loosened the ties of the Wu brothers.

After the two brothers of the Wu family thanked them repeatedly, they said goodbye and left.

"There was an outsider just now, I was embarrassed to ask!" Brother Li frowned slightly, "Even if you look at Old Man Wu's sake, there is no need to answer that you should replace the burned honeycomb coal with the unburned honeycomb coal!" ”

Li Changfu was also very puzzled, and scratched his head, "Yes, that thing is useless, mother, didn't we give money to the Wu family brothers for nothing?" ”

Li Xiaoyue shook her head, "Big brother, Changfu, the burned honeycomb coal is crushed, mixed with some soil, and burned in the brick kiln, and you can burn very good bricks!" ”

Cinders can also be used as a good ecological fertilizer for breeding succulents, and can also be used to build roads, which has many benefits.

Hearing this, Brother Li was stunned, "No wonder my father wanted to help you build a house some time ago, you said you were going to wait, are you going to use these burned bricks to build a house?" ”

Li Xiaoyue nodded and happily responded, "Yes, big brother!" At that time, on the barren mountain to the west of our village, we will build a few brick kilns to burn bricks. ”

"Not only will this save money on buying bricks, but it will also make those who use honeycomb coal feel that they are taking advantage of it and are more willing to buy it from us."

"There are many people who sell firewood like the Wu brothers. They have no way to live, and there is no way to do it. ”

"What we do business about is to make money in harmony, since we can win together, then we don't need to do things too much."

Brother Li pondered for a moment, nodded, and agreed with Li Xiaoyue's approach.

"The most indispensable thing for our border passes is young strong men, and when the time comes to war, these people can come in handy."

"Even if they don't dare to trouble us in the future, if they move to other places, it will be a loss for Lanshan County."

Li Xiaoyue thought deeply, "Yes, big brother." Tomorrow, the Wu brothers will come over and let them help spread the word, and when there will be more people working, we will also be able to free up manpower to build a brick kiln. ”

Brother Li smiled, "Okay! I thought it was a tricky thing, but I didn't expect it to be in your hands, and it immediately turned into a good thing. ”

"With these people's publicity, more and more people in Lanshan County will use honeycomb coal in the future, and our business can get bigger and bigger."

Li Changfu is also very happy, now the family can net more than 30 taels of silver every day, and with the passage of time, it continues to increase.

This good news quickly spread through the Wu brothers.

Those who originally indignantly cursed the Li family for their livelihood by chopping and selling firewood, praised one after another, came to transport honeycomb coal, and purchased burned honeycomb coal.

Their income has increased greatly, and at the same time, the pressure on Lijiacun's side has been reduced.

Thanks to the promotion of these people, it was not long before every household in Lanshan County used honeycomb coal.

For a whole month, it was time to pay the wages.

Although Li Changle is small, she has already planned how to use her salary.

Since the morning, he has followed Li Xiaoyue with his niece and nephew like a little tail.

"Mother, how much silver have we earned this month? When are we going to get paid? ”
